\'I\'ve been gone on business. I gotta make some money. I really feel the distance\' shows that he\'s on a business trip and he\'s missing the person he loves who is back home. He keeps thinking about the little things in their relationship that clearly meant a lot to him, even something as little as going to a bar with \'the blinking sign\' one night.\nHe wants to come back to her. He wants to walk into the house with his shoes on and for her to tell him to "leave your shoes at the door, cause I\'ve just swept the floor and the dirt drives me crazy". \nWhen it refers to the rain hitting the window with her in his arms watching the TV being poetry, being sheltered from the rain actually gives people a sense of protection and security, therefore comparing it to the feeling poetry can give someone.\n\nOverall, this song really explores the themes of love and how when you love someone so much, all these memories, no matter how important or how insignificant compared to the bigger scheme of things they are, they\'re always there. Reminding us that the one we love the most is the hardest to forget.
